MATERIALS:
DROPS MERINO EXTRA FINE from Garnstudio (belongs to yarn group B)
50-50 g colour 31, forest green
KNITTING TENSION:
21 stitches in width and 28 rows vertically in stocking stitch = 10 x 10 cm.
NEEDLES:

Needle size is only a suggestion! If you have too many stitches on 10 cm switch to a larger needle size. If you have too few stitches on 10 cm switch to a smaller needle size.
EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:
——————————————————-
GARTER STITCH (back and forth):
Knit all rows.
1 ridge vertically = knit 2 rows.
PATTERN:
Head band: See diagram A.1.
Neck warmer: See diagrams A.2 and A.3
Mittens: See diagrams A.4 and A.5.
Diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from the right side.
INCREASE TIP-1 (evenly):
To calculate how to increase evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 124 stitches) and divide stitches by number of increases to be done (e.g. 28) = 4.4.
In this example increase by making 1 yarn over after alternately approx. every 4th and 5th stitch. On next row work yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
